One Week Teacher Training Workshop

June 2009

This one week in-depth experience will be held at DePauw University in Greencastle, IN. This workshop is designed to assist, guide and shepherd participants through the philosophy and practicum of teaching this unique body of work. We will begin by reviewing the principles of both the Voice and Body work, and then move into actual teaching sessions, where participants will design their own short lessons and teach them to 'students' with observation, video/DVD recording and feedback. This workshop is open to those:
  • who have had at least one intensive workshop or
  • are working towards certification or
  • are already certified in Lessac Kinesensic Training, but want further training.

It will be taught by Master Teacher Nancy Krebs and Director of Certification Barry Kur.  For more information, please contact Nancy Krebs at nkrebsbj@aol.com.
